(CNN) -- When you spend much of your life being chased by the paparazzi, rest and relaxation take on a whole new meaning.

But where do you go when the whole world knows your name and your face?

Like most vacationers seeking a luxury getaway, celebrities look for a fabulous location, impeccable service and posh accommodations. Privacy, of course, is a must.

A-listers can also afford the best of the best, so they expect royal treatment -- and they get it.

When five-star hotels know they have celebrities in-house, they do everything they possibly can to accommodate them, including indulging any special requests, said Jacqueline Gifford, travel editor for Brides Magazine.

But the great service and hospitality at these places isn't limited to just bold-faced names.

"When you're paying that much money to stay at a fabulous place, they're going to go over the top to pamper you, whether you're a celebrity or not," Gifford said.

With that in mind, here are seven resorts used to catering to famous guests:

North Island, Seychelles

With its exotic location in the Indian Ocean, lush tropical beauty and a secluded beach, no wonder Britain's Prince William and his bride, Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge, chose this resort for their honeymoon spot in the spring.

The island is home to 11 guest villas that "blend seamlessly" with their surroundings and are "designed to celebrate nature," the resort says, touting its eco-friendly philosophy.

Guests share the retreat with tortoises and endangered species of birds, such as the Black Paradise Flycatcher and the Seychelles Magpie Robin. You might also get a peek at the coco-de-mer palm, which produces the largest seeds in the plant kingdom.

It's this combination of beauty and privacy that draws celebrities.

David and Victoria Beckham celebrated their 10th wedding anniversary on the island in 2009. Actress Salma Hayek has honeymooned there.

Set on the Caribbean island's upscale west coast -- often called the "Platinum Coast" -- the resort is known for its deluxe accommodations and signature pink beach chairs and umbrellas that contrast beautifully with the turquoise sea.

Located at the top of the world's most famous stairway and offering a sweeping view above the churches, domes and rooftops of Rome, this former palazzo boasts elegance, style and "discretion."

Stay at the classic hotel and you'll add your name to a register that has included Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes, who took over part of the Hassler before their wedding in 2006; Jennifer Lopez; Leonardo DiCaprio; and many other A-listers.

Prince Rainier of Monaco and Grace Kelly even spent part of their honeymoon at the hotel.

"The Hassler is amazing because it's at the top of the Spanish Steps so you've got an awesome view of Rome. They have amazing service and some fantastic suites," Gifford said.

Just a two-hour flight away from Los Angeles, sunny Cabo San Lucas is perfect for a quick, relaxing and romantic getaway for stressed-out Hollywood types.

This luxurious resort overlooks both the Sea of Cortez and Punta Ballena -- or "Whale Point," past which humpbacks migrate in winter -- says Travel+Leisure, which has named Esperanza one of the world's top 50 hotels.

All the hotel's suites and villas offer ocean views. Some have private pools, a dedicated butler and private chefs for "in-villa dining."

This is where LeAnn Rimes and Eddie Cibrian honeymooned in May. Paltrow and Martin have stayed as well.

With the Tuileries Garden, the Place de la Concorde and the Louvre all just steps away, guests staying at the opulent Le Meurice are in the heart of the City of Light.

"It's one of the best hotels in the world," Agostini said. "I would recommend Le Meurice to anybody -- kings, queens, anybody." (It's the kind of place where there are attendants inside the elevators to punch your floor buttons for you.)

Beyoncé and Jay-Z rented the two-story penthouse suite for $20,000 a night in April, People.com reported.

Gifford spotted Harrison Ford in the lobby when she stayed there, "which was very exciting," she said.
